Game modes:Single player
Story:Infusing hip-hop music, culture and lifestyle into the gameplay, EA Chicago and Def Jam Interactive push the boundaries of game development bringing unique and innovative content to the next generation of gaming. Music is the cornerstone of hip-hop culture so EA wanted to incorporate music and rhythm into the actual gameplay mechanics. EA Chicago delivers star-stunning action and bone breaking beats as players live out the life of a hip hop mogul, going from rags to riches. Incorporating hip-hop culture into every aspect of the game, DEF JAM: ICON delivers the intensity of a no-holds-barred street fight but with style and rhythm. Music affects how players fight in each venue and environmental interactions and hazards become a key strategy to staying alive. The game's unique fighting gameplay controls introduce a new way for gamers to fight as they assume the role of top celebrity characters such as Ludacris, T.I. and Big Boi. Innovative controls give better feedback to players so they feel like they're actually throwing the combat moves. Gamers can now fight with the style and flash of the superstar personalities.Show more

Bring this back while you are at it. I know its not as good as FFNY but it was easy to pick up and play. I always thought the person on the cover looked like Young Dro.

Def Jeam is such an iconic game (hah, lil joke.) Where Fight For New York has been one that always stuck with me the most, the game series left an impact with me due to the people I shared the experiences with. It's a game I'll always remember and will go down into history for me as one of the more fun hiphop based games ever.
